 		[GREY DISTRICT] Old Downtown- Printer [SOLVED]
New puzzle just showed up. There is an image and a video. Image is a photocopy of a letter with a big red "CLASSIFIED" stamp on it. Text as follows:
Quote:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INTERNAL MEMORANDUM
>>> TO: *CLASSIFIED*
>>> FROM: *CLASSIFIED*
>>> RE: *CLASSIFIED
>>>
We let these skiver punks talk their trash, but this time they have crossed the line. Last night we found a series of posters were pasted to the side of the biz-plex down on 44th street. These weren't just your ordinary whining posters. These had some very dangerous confidential information right there for anyone to see! Names of people who don't want their names known. Those aren't the kind of people we want breathing down out[sic] backs, trust me. I don't know how the skivers got this info in the first place, but I'm fixing to track this thing all the way back to its source. Step one is to find out who printed those posters and put them up.
>>>
We know where this trash is coming from. Those bums have set up a printing facility in the abandoned Effort Seven housing complex in the Grey District. We were able to have one of our double agents shoot a little footage of this place. Not great quality, but at least we know what we are dealing with here. Pretty shabby set-up, most of that equipment is from at least 25 years ago. They don't even have a digital self-contained ink press, so they are still mixing paints like a bunch of cavemen.
>>>
We rounded up three suspects who could have been involved with the incident. All of their sub-cue records place them in the general vicinity at the time in question.
>>>
Lillian Erikson was pulled off the street right after we found the posters. She had paint under her fingernails, but says she was doing some repair work for her aunt which involved painting some door frames. Yeah, sure she was. Whoever printed those things up would have gotten their hands pretty dirty, and this looks like our perp. She was dressed in a dark jacket with a large T on the back and some dress slacks. Nice enough girl, but that doesn't mean she wasn't part of this whole thing.
>>>
Manny Candalaria got nabbed by our response unit that same night. Little tiny guy, couldn't be more that[sic]five feet tall standing straight as an arrow. We ran a field chem. check on his clothes and picked up some light traces of an illegal "recreational" substance as well as some sort of pine tree residue. The closest pines are in Unity Park which isn't even close to where we found the posters, but in his statement he never mentions going to the park. He works at the T-Corp docks and says he is saving his money up for a car.
>>>
Keo Franks is the last suspect. We found a quart of orange paint in his backpack, which he was unable to explain. I tell you; this guy is shady. Big tall son of a gun, must wear about a size [??]. Long black hair which he had in a pony tale[sic] at the time. He had spent at least part of that evening at a cheap restaurant, and then stopped in at a local watering hole and shot some pool. That paint seems like a pretty damning indictment to me.
>>>
I figure we will probably bring them all back in for another round of interrogation, unless you have some way to prove their guilt.
>>>


Below is a video.

Who?
How do you know?

 		Think I've got the answer, but it's going to be fun figuring out the wording.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Manny Candalaria. He has "recreational substance" and pine tar residue on his clothes. In the video, you can see denatured alcohol and turpentine cans (turpentine is distilled pine tar resin.)
"Manny Candalaria" and "Turpentine and denatured alcohol" and "turpentine and alcohol" does not work.

Oh yeah, 475 credits a pop to answer.

Failure text is:
The key must be in some subtle clue we haven't found yet.

There are also two... I dunno? Quarters? Two big white bottles about midway through the video. Could be bottles of pigment. One has a yellow line across it, the other has a red line across it. If they are pigments, those colors mix to produce orange paint. So it could be Keo. There is a lot of red yellow repeating through the video actually, and the document talks about "mixing paints" and such.

"Keo Franks" and "Red and Yellow Paint" does not work


Maybe there is more than one perpetrator?

 		I don't know about your other option, but Bishop asked me to send him corrections, and Theo replied telling me my info was correct.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Manny Candelaria" and "turpentine and alcohol" is a correct answer


Earned me positive karma and 8 prestige, too.

(Perhaps there is evidence for all three, who knows?)

Woohoo, I solved one all by myself! Now I'm gonna go have a cookie...

 		Hmm, I can't see the image; only the video. I wonder if it's another problem with my browser.
